Interesting about the economy, I wonder if this is just improved ECU mapping.

It's all about the drive cycle, that's all the legislators care about, so it's what the manufacturers target.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
New optional single-speed transfer box for revised four-wheel drive powertrain
What's that, opt out of the low box??
I hope they are going to offer the option of ONLY having low range, for all the cars that never leave SW3 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

At least with 2wd we will at least perhaps experience what's it like to be a bmw/audi driver getting stuck in snow/water and being pulled out by Kuga or other 4wd wanabies.....

Looks at it this way ...if they don't get the co2 emissions down to an average of 95gms\ km across the range by 2020 then there will be no more JLR ...so wake up smell the coffee and get with the programme
Personally I am a convert to electric \ hybrid tech 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Older D4s? They'll be grafted/glued/gaffer taped onto the oldest D3s and someone with a D2 will give it a go.
